The study explores how attachment styles and social support influence the experiences of widowed elderly individuals facing age-related changes such as loss, illness, and vulnerability. It highlights the significant inter-individual differences that affect adjustment to aging, particularly among males and females. By examining the interplay of loss, gender, social support, and attachment, the research addresses a critical gap in literature regarding elderly well-being, aiming to provide insights into how these factors shape their experiences during this transitional life stage.
